W：Hey, James. How's the job search going?
M：Hi, Sharon. I had no idea it would take so much time. It sure makes it difficult to prepare for final exams. How about you?
W：I was lucky. There seems to be a shortage of high school teachers now. I applied to three schools, and each one offered me a position.
MThat's great. Which one did you like?
W：I haven't decided yet. Of course, it would be the easiest for me to stay here in New York or go back home to Boston. But I may go to California.

M：Hello， everyone. My name's Ben. I'm from a group called “Nature”. We run courses for young people like you to do during weekends. Now I'd like to tell you about the courses you can do on Saturday mornings. You can learn a lot about things like science and maths at school. These courses are really about giving you students the chance to come and find out wildlife. It's an area that tends to get forgotten. We usually take students to a wild place that's near their home. Sometimes we go to a beach or a lake， but we've planned for you to go to a forest this time. That's the closest place for you， and the easiest to get to. Taking part in our activities means you get to do all sorts of things including building a fire， which you wouldn't normally be allowed to do at home. While you're with us， we'll also show you how to make things out of different materials. On the last course， everyone designed backpacks which they were very pleased with. This time we'd get you to design and make a birdhouse. When it is finished， you can take it home and show it to your family. We think you'll really enjoy this. Now， we'd like you to come and do some activities with us. You spend three hours each week with us and the courses last for 12 weeks. That might sound a long time， but we think you'll not be sorry when it's over., Now， any questions？

Most kinds of rose plants come from Asia. But roses are also native to other areas including northwest Africa, Europe and the United States. Some people say roses are difficult to grow. But you have a good chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts.

You should plant your roses where they can get sunshine for about six hours on bright days. You can buy roses from a garden center or by mail order. You can buy potted (盆栽) roses, also known as container roses, or bare­root (裸根) plants. Each kind has its fans.
Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to plant. They say the roots develop better. But Jeffrey Dinslage, president of Nature Hills Nursery in Omaha, Nebraska, points out that bare­root roses come without soil. So they weigh less to transport. If they arrive before you are ready to plant them, make sure the packing material is slightly wet. Keep the plants in a cool, dark place. You plant the roses while they are not active. The resting plants have no leaves but still need water.
When growing roses, the soil should be wet. Watering should be done in the morning. That can prevent problem called black spots. But do not water too much. Jeffrey Dinslage says people often ask him about becoming discolored on rose leaves. He says the problems are usually caused by too much water. After heavy rains or too much watering, he advises pulling away mulch (覆盖物) from around the roots for a short time. This will help dry the soil. If your soil is very dry, you can add compost (堆肥), which returns nutrients (营养) to the soil.

Do you ever wonder why trees begin to bud (发芽) earlier in some cities? Scientists finally found the answer but it's not very pleasant. New science suggests a relationship between light pollution and the timing when trees produce buds, which signals the arrival of the spring season.
Light pollution is defined by the Lighting Research Center as the unwanted consequence of outdoor lighting such as street lights. Excessive (过多的) man­made light at night results in disturbed natural cycles, and also prevents the observation of stars and planets at night. But its effect on the environment goes beyond that.
By studying some trees, researchers found out that trees that are more exposed to artificial lighting at night bud up to 7.5 days earlier than those at the natural nighttime setting. And they found out that light had a more significant effect than temperature when the buds came out. The early budding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard, who helped lead the research, explained that more than the budding of trees, the study implies the danger to the balance of the ecosystem. “At the moment, caterpillars are timed to hatch to make the most of the opportunities to feed on freshly budded leaves, and birds hatch in time to feed on the young caterpillar，” he said.
Migratory (迁徙的) birds are also negatively affected by light pollution. The glare might confuse them and make them lose their flying sense. The phenomenon might explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings.
Such results stress the need to pursue studies that aim to measure the effect of light pollution. If the issue were left to continue, it is estimated that by 2100, spring would begin almost a full month earlier than it does today.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，指出了光污染的危害，尤其是对环境和生态平衡的破坏和负面影响。
27．What will happen if there is too much man­made light?
A．People's eyesight will be damaged.
B．The ecosystem will likely lose its balance.
C．No stars or planets may be observed at night.
D．Animals' living habits may change suddenly.
答案：B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Professor Richard, who ... balance of the ecosystem.”可知，太多的人造灯光可能使生态系统失
